tools.date

Type: DateTime

Returns the current local date, according to the host device.

Examples

// display the current date in the debugger
debug.log(tools.date);

Remarks

This is the current date of the device hosting your app instance, which is typically the local date of the user.

If you want the date measured in Universal time instead (across the entire globe), use tools.dateUtc.
